Y pipe otions

Sweet man, nice to see people putting effort in to proving stuff,,, you can actually get a pipe a little cheaper on ebay right now, I was one for 160 + 20 shipping, looked much the same.

Working on it anyway -- test pipes just came in the mail today

On that note -- do you know if anyone is selling just two tailpipe + muffler sections that will bolt up in lieu of the single OEM muffler?

^negative - I would have helped you out but recently sold my spare mufler that could have been a donar.

Rats. Well thanks anyway

Hey, actually, do you know or could you find out the angle and diameter of the OEM pipes before they join into the OEM Y section?

I was thinking I might just pick up a really nice 2-1 merge collector (maybe Burns?) and weld that on in place of the factory join.

A nice smooth transition right there might make a difference without having to replace the rest of the piping.

yo just installed my JIC y pipe, man the sound is deeper i love it. throttle response is better and the torque is definitely back in the game.

Nice -- where'd you get it and how much?

Is the OEM Y-pipe 2.5" to 3" too? If so, the high quality collector might work pretty well.

Kastley85891 · 08-07-2010, 01:13 AM

I think 2.25 to 2.75 dude, sorry , missed previous post

No problem -- hmm. Would you mind checking that if it's off the car? I am seriously considering the collector idea.

Kastley85891 · 08-07-2010, 09:28 AM

I would if I was there, its on car right now, but from memory that is correct, maybe Westwood can measure his stocker? I would whip it off but am in St Louis for another week ;-(

yep 2.5 inlet/outlet and 3" in the middle! and man i love how it sounds.

got it from ebay MSRP $547 paid $268+80$ shipped fed ex! my buddy couldn't beat that price and he owns a speed shop i think its the prefect match for my top speed axle back. throttle response and torque is very good. but most of all the sound is deeper almost exotic im very satisfied

Cool! Glad you like it

If the OEM Y-pipe is off the car, would you mind checking the diameters for the inlet and outlet pipes for me?

2.5 into 3" or 2.5" into 2.75"?

Or are both in and out 2.5" -- that would be fairly restrictive...

corbin09 · 08-11-2010, 06:37 PM

It is into 2.75 I believe. I know for sure it is not to 3. Our Y pipe has the same Inlet/Outlet diamaters as a HR350z
